I was intrigued by this story as I also have blue eyes, am sensitive to bright lights, and ever since I was a child could read books in dim enough light that my parents could not tell I was even reading. I also have 20/15 vision but the optician never said anything about my eyes other than how great my vision is.

Sorta wierd that I have a fetish for eyeglasses now that I think about it.

Thursday, January 26, 2012 10:00:06 AMI'm not sure if the link was posted here, but does anyone remember that doctor in LA who said that he can turn anyone's eye's blue? He mentioned something along the lines of all our eyes start off blue, and then something gets added on that turns them either brown or green. Maybe that's what happened here? It may not be that one of his parents were carrying the gene that made his eyes blue, but rather just a mutation. That would explain the being able to see in the dark as well. Regular blue eyes can't do that.

Thursday, January 26, 2012 7:22:59 AM@lifeavoidit - Everyone can have blue eyes, but it depends on the parent's genetics. It's not like some anti-blue eyes Asian gene, but since blue eyes are recessive, both parents have to be carrying the gene for it to be expressed (excluding cases where babies are born with blue eyes, not sure why that happens, but it's not their real eye color since it changes when they get older). It just so happens that the gene is very uncommon in Asia, so kids usually aren't born with blue eyes (more likely to happen if they were mixed race in their heritage). It's the same reason why they usually aren't born with red hair or blonde hair without being mixed somewhere in their heritage.

Thursday, January 26, 2012 1:29:59 AMI'm calling BS on this one. Blue eyes might be rare in the population, but other than that they look normal. I don't care if a "doctor" examined him, there's a reason they try come to places like the US, UK, or, Canada when they need major medical help.
